An Exhibiting Membership at the Brandon Artists Guild is a juried position. To be considered for membership, please complete the online application below. Artists who wish to show work of different media must submit an application for each medium. Applications must be received by Wednesday, March 9th and require a $50 non-refundable fee which can be paid at the Saturday jury.

Accepted applicants must commit to at least the 70/30 commission level. The 70/30 requires 1 and 1/2 days per month as gallery attendant (10.5 hours); the 80/20 level requires 2 and 1/2 days per month (17.5). After one year members can change their participation level.

Artwork is juried according to various scored criteria which include overall impact, clarity, craftsmanship, consistency of style and quality, presentation, feasibility, and marketability. BAG participation (assessed by previous guild involvement and/or anticipated participation based on agreement/participation level) is also considered.

The jury panel is composed of artists and non-artists representing expertise and experience in the art being presented for jury.

General requirements:

1. Applicants must be a Vermont resident for at least six months a year.

2. All work submitted for consideration for jury or exhibition must be the original work of the artist applying. A percentage of reproductions and limited editions for presentation at the BAG may be submitted for consideration.

3. Manufactured items, items assembled from commercial kits or made from commercially available plans, or items that are cast from pre-manufactured molds are not acceptable. The BAG reserves the right to final interpretation of commercial status.
